Cognitive neuropsychological research studies of people with
cognitive deficits have typically been directed either at
investigating methods of intervention, or at furthering our
understanding of normal and impaired cognition. This book reports
on research that combines these goals, using studies that use
intervention as a 'tool' for investigating hypotheses about the
functioning of the human cognitive system. The introductory chapter
discusses some of the unique and more general difficulties that
this approach faces, while the five reports describe intervention
studies with children and adults with cognitive impairments -
studies which investigate current theories of cognition. The
studies demonstrate that the use of intervention to study cognition
is a promising and valuable methodology. Aiming to promote wider
use of these combined methods, this book makes it clear that while
the approach faces various methodological and interpretative
challenges, it has the advantage of providing advances on issues of
theory while, at the same time providing treatment to participants,
and bringing together what have been largely separate research
traditions. This book was originally published as a special issue
of Cognitive Neuropsychology.
